The
11,600-word novelette, "The Body in the Parking Structure", was my
first book written in a shorter format than the traditional novel. This very fast-paced mystery story
features characters from the author's popular South American mystery series
working on a murder case at home in Los Angeles. The book can be purchased from Amazon for $1.99, and
is free to borrow by Prime members. Just
click on the appropriate link below or the book cover image on the right. Can you figure out whodunit before Roger
does?
Here’s an excerpt (950 words—8% of the story) from the
beginning of the book to get you hooked:
Chapter 1. Suzanne finds the body
For the
first time since we had met, Suzanne discovered a dead body without me being
there. She was collecting her car at
twilight from the UCLA parking structure after a quick trip to the laboratory
to change the samples on a DNA sequencer.
The structure seemed to be deserted except for her and a large lump
lying lifeless between her car and the garage wall. She called 911 to report the body then called
me.
